"6," Shen Jingchuan gave Wen Yan a thumbs up, "You're so popular now, you have fans everywhere you go. By the way, do they know you came out with your family?"
"I know, I mentioned in my previous live stream that it was a family trip, but they probably didn't see you guys. They're all quite sensible; they didn't ask about my private schedule."
"That's good, it didn't cause you any trouble. I was worried about those people who followed you to the hotel. What are they called? I guess they're called sasaeng fans, or paparazzi, right?"
"You know that too?"
"Of course, I was popular for a while and was wildly popular, so I have the talent."
"Yes, yes, you're a heartthrob, everyone likes you."
"Tch," Shen Jingchuan thought, the term "heartthrob" was specifically used to describe women, and he was somewhat disdainful. "I'm not heartthrob, you are. The drama you've been watching recently is called 'The Legend of Chang'an,' right? Although I don't like watching these kinds of romance dramas, I've seen people mention it several times in the chat group, both men and women, which shows that you have a wide audience."
“Yeah, I saw it too,” Su Yang said. “It pushed a notification to me as soon as I opened my phone while I was eating. I don’t know which app it was from. When I tried to click on it, I accidentally swiped it away.”
"Really? Then I'll take a look too. I haven't had time to use my phone these past two days."
Wen Yan sat down next to Qin Yulong and took out her phone to start talking to Qin Yulong.
"Those fans just told me that the audience really likes my male attire in The Legend of Chang'an. They said the online reviews are very good right now. Did you see that?"
Qin Yulong nodded: "I saw it. There was already a hint of this when the trailer was released. I was planning to talk to you about it when I got back to the hotel because the other actors tagged you on social media."
"Really? Which one?"
"Not just one, but several."
"I'll go take a look. I've basically already been following all the actors in the same production."
As she spoke, Wen Yan started scrolling through the updates of her mutual friends.
Gu Xiran: @Wen Yan, Oh no, my position as the male lead is in jeopardy. Boss, you're so handsome, how am I supposed to survive as an employee?
Actress Dai Zilin: @Wen Yan, my love, my love, my love, you saved me, so I'm yours now, you can't escape me.
Fang Yijun: @Wen Yan, Sister Chang'an, I've heard that men dressed as women and women dressed as men are a better match. Since I can't be the male lead, could you consider letting me be Brother Chang'an's female lead?
Clicking on the related terms below reveals even more lively discussions among netizens.
"The young master of Chang'an is so handsome, how can he be so handsome? His action scenes are incredibly smooth, you can tell he's put in a lot of hard work."
"Waaaaah, Mom, I'm in love! Turns out, a husband isn't about gender, but about an atmosphere!"
'From then on, the image of a handsome man with a face like jade, a refined and elegant appearance, and a dashing and romantic demeanor became a tangible representation. My brother Chang'an YYDS'
'Damn, this black outfit is just awful! Is Wen Yan really that tall? I didn't notice when she was standing with the male leads, but she looks so much taller next to the Western Region princess. It makes the actress look so petite!'
'They must have used boxes to stand on, otherwise how could there be such a height difference?'
"Speechless. How did you even watch this show? I'm making you go back and watch it again. The height difference was there when the scene was shot in wide shots, okay? The actors didn't use any boxes. I could believe you if the stylist used shoulder pads when doing Wen Yan's cross-dressing look, but using boxes is impossible."
"Yeah, you probably don't know that Wen Yan is 1.7 meters tall. The actress who played the princess from the Western Regions is petite; the publicly available information online says she's 1.62 meters tall, but I think that might be an exaggeration. She's probably only 1.6 meters. There's a 10-centimeter height difference between them, so it's not surprising."
"Waaaaah, I...I'm also 1.6 meters tall! I really want to stand next to Brother Chang'an! My girlish heart exploded when Brother Chang'an carried the little princess in his arms!"
'I never expected Wen Yan to have such strong arms. The shot of her carrying me was a wide shot, so she probably wasn't suspended by wires.'
"The main issue is that the other actress is light; if she were heavier, Wen Yan probably wouldn't be able to lift her. She looks quite thin too."
"Um, you all think she looks really handsome? Why do I feel like she looks a bit effeminate?"
"That's right, she is a woman after all. Her figure and facial features are definitely different from men's, but it proves that you don't necessarily have to consider gender when it comes to winning over women. Don't be so rigid about it."
"Exactly! My husband in the drama is so responsible. No matter if it's a man or a woman, when the atmosphere is right, she's my husband. I declare that from now on, Wen Yan is my husband's older sister!"
"Don't even mention it, just that head pat on the princess's head in the trailer... it melted the hearts of so many of us sisters! Why can't they release 108 episodes a day? How long am I supposed to wait?"
"The head pat is indeed amazing, but I became a fan after seeing that doting, head-shaking smile—it's absolutely incredible. I think several of the most greasy-looking male celebrities in the entertainment industry should learn from Wen Yan, really."
"And that scene where he holds the little princess in one arm and spins her around, I absolutely adore it. The little princess's gaze towards Chang'an is so sweet, I think the actress was definitely immersed in her role while filming."
"Ugh, nobody understands! That princess carry picture has been playing on repeat on my phone all day!"
'One day is nothing, I've already been doing this for two days straight.'
